Summary: Pharmacy Technician Certification Study Guide
Comment: I have not read this book, but have been a Pharmacy Technician for 13 years. The correct answer to the question posed by the last review is: yes, the answer is false. A Physician can write a prescription using the chemical name for a drug instead of writting the brand name even if there is no generic available. The chemical name for a drug is sometimes used as the name for that same drug when it becomes a generic.

Summary: Chapter 1 mistake?!?!?! Buyer beware!!
Comment: I'm just beginning to look into a career as a Pharmacy Tech and this is one of the first books that I've looked at, but it seems that there is an error in Ch.1 Sample questions. Question C asks: "True or False?
1.When there is only one brand/trade name for a medication (no generic equivalent), the trade name must appear on the prescription/medication order."
The answer in the back of the book says this statement is FALSE, but if there is no generic equivalent, then wouldn't the brand/trade name be the ONLY name for the drug? And if there is only ONE brand name, wouldn't it HAVE to appear on the prescription?
Common sense tells me that this is a mistake. It also makes me wonder how many other errors are embedded in this text and whether I'd be foolish to use it as a STUDY guide. Why memorize incorrect information? Will Ms. Marks, the author, take responsibility for questions that I answer wrongly on the exam b/c I learned them from her book??? I think not. Buyer beware!

Summary: There Are Better Review Books Out There
Comment: If you've worked in a pharmacy for years and math is a snap for you, then go ahead and buy this book. I is the cheapest and quickest certification guide out there. However, if you need to comprehensively review for the national certification exam, you'll need a much more in-depth book. This book only briefly mentions many important points, assuming that you already know them. Don't buy this book if you need a comprehensive review guide for the PTCB exam.
